    Mussels
    Jeremy B.

    3/14/25 Ate List: Mussels - 7.8 Nonna's Meatballs - 7.6 Motherclucker - 8.1 Such a cool spot. Removed from the thick of it, feels homey. Service was kind. Could tell our waitress was hustling. Could also sense the "younger staff" members need to learn how to really pitch in. So first, the apps. Mussels came in a very creamy white sauce. Was a unique but delicious taste. Nonna's meatballs were simple but addicting. The Motherclucker was a real star. Great sandwich. Fries were a familiar standard/texture and heat. But a good standard to have. Overall, this spot was awesome! Will absolutely be back!

    Great place. Loved the history of the place. Good food. Can't wait to come back in the summer and sit on their patio. Amazing ambiance. If you like whiskey and bourbons this is the place for you

    Gunslinger
    Marla C.

    I went with my best friend! We both got burgers. She got the Gearhead and I got the Gunslinger. I loved all the fresh jalapeños mine came with. If you don't like spicy I would not recommend this one for you. But the burgers were thick and delicious. The fries were also good. The staff was very nice. We can't wait to go back when the weather is nice and sit outside.

    My husband and I bought a just pay half coupon for this restaurant and decided to use it this past weekend. I have been here one other time but this was my husband's first experience and he is a tough food critic. There was no wait to be seated and our waitress appeared quickly to take our drink order. Nothing fancy for drinks, water and Diet Coke. There was music playing from a tv; oldies and my husband knew a lot of the songs. He seemed to enjoy this a lot. We decided on the spinach dip appetizer which was delicious; served with fried pita bread. I ordered the Cobb salad with chicken and he ordered a specialty burger with fries. The portions are huge. Food was delicious and my husband was very impressed with the burger. The coupon was great though we tipped on the amount before the discount.

    My sister and I tried Brick and Barrel for the first time tonight! The building itself has a cute and quaint historic charm to it. It kind of reminded me of the Downtown Charleston area restaurants (minus the beach/bay). It was the perfect night to sit outside on their patio (if only I could have a glass of wine, lol). I'm happy to say we did not leave hungry! We shared the large pretzel with beer cheese to start. We both followed that with burgers and specialty fries. My sister enjoyed a couple new cocktails outside our usual box( I'm jealous, haha). I'll definitely have to stop back post-delivery for the Caramel Bourbon . This is the perfect spot for a date night, family outing, or a night out with the girls! Friendly service, tasty food, and cute/casual atmosphere - 10/10 would recommend!

    The restaurant is beautiful!! I can't wait to come back and sit on the patio. The server we had was lovely. She was very attentive and quick to clear plates. Additionally, she refilled glasses swiftly as well. I appreciated that. The food was insanely good. I joked that it was too good the be located in the suburbs. No one had complaints about the food. I'm already craving the food again, and I went to dinner yesterday lol. The one negative I could think of is that there wasn't a lot of people in the restaurant, yet the food took a long time. It was definitely noticeable; however, I can't justify lowering their star count for that reason. You need to try Brick and Barrel!! It's phenomenal.

    Yeah this is an easy call for five stars. We thought the food was super good. I got a margharita pizza with pepperoni and spicy sauce and it was amazing. My wife got a chicken salad and my son the burger with bacon jam. Everything was tasty and the service was good. The look of this place is a great setting in the woods with an outdoor patio.

    I visited Brick & Barrel Cross Keys for the first time during Pittsburgh Restaurant Week, and despite its immense popularity, I was seated immediately--no wait at all. That alone was a great start. I ordered The Barnyard Burger, their specialty duck fat fries, and what a bourbon hot chocolate from their seasonal special drinks menu. Simply put, this was the best burger I have ever had. Everything about it--from the quality of the meat to the toppings and the way it was cooked--was phenomenal. I enjoyed it so much that I returned just a week later to try another burger, The Gunslinger, along with regular fries and the Spinach Artichoke Dip appetizer. Once again, I was not disappointed--the flavors were outstanding, and everything was cooked to perfection. Of all the restaurants I visited during Restaurant Week, this was by far the best experience. The food was great, the service was fast and friendly, and the atmosphere, an experience all on its own, really made it stand out, and I can't recommend it highly enough. If you're looking for incredible burgers and a top-tier dining experience, Brick & Barrel Cross Keys should be at the top of your list!

    Really amazing French Fries and a perfect location. Their craft beers on tap are impressive and their wait staff are friendly. We had a large group, but they accommodated us smoothly. The fare for lunch is burgers, pizza, fish sandwiches, and salads.

    100% recommend. Food was absolutely amazing, such good service with super awesome employees that were so sweet & take such good care of you. When you're here it feels so homey & welcoming. Also have great seasonal drinks & a huge selection of whiskey, bourbon & so many other great cocktail options! Definitely a place to try!

    I hosted a an annual Christmas party here and the space was pretty good for the 22 people we had. It is upstairs so it is not handicap accessible for this private room. We ordered a buffet style catering, and everything turned out good except for the chicken marsala and the chicken piccata, they taste exactly the same. The sauce was too water down. They provided one waitress and although she did a good job, the group was not getting drinks fast enough. I had made this reservation for months prior but the food was no prepare in a timely fashion. There was also a confusing about the room rental and the deposit, but it was all taken care of at the end. The space was nicely decorated for Christmas, which made my job a little easier, and the staff that I encountered was very friendly.

    Brick and Barrel restaurant is located inside an old house that has a really lovely appearance and atmosphere. The current menu lists appetizers such as French onion soup, spinach artichoke dip, wings, and salads; entrees such as burgers, pizzas, salmon, and chicken; and sides such as duck-fat fries and bourbon-bacon cheese fries. The menu also has an extensive list of alcoholic drinks. Please see my attached photos for the menus. On a Saturday afternoon, my husband and I stopped by to eat lunch. We stood at a hostess stand for a few minutes until an employee noticed us. I felt thankful that tables were available. Our waitress was very timely and polite throughout the service, and she brought us drink refills. Here are my reviews for our foods: Short-rib poutine - $16 - 4 stars - The French fries were crispy and were covered in a flavorful gravy and some cheese curd. The short rib tasted good but could have been more tender and shredded more. Surf 'n turf - $41 - 4 stars - The filet mignon was small and looked to be approximately 4 ounces, and it was cooked medium as I had requested. The crab cake was a decent size and contained a decent amount of crab meat. My sides were mashed potatoes and my choice of brussels sprouts. Pittbull pizza - $19 - 4 stars - This pizza had six slices, and its meat toppings were ham, sausage, bacon, and pepperoni. My husband ate this pizza and described it as "good." He had leftovers for later at home, and he ate every slice.

I cannot say it is the best pizza I have had because different styles are all amazing. This is a unique style and I love it. The sauce was amazing, the ricotta cheese was so delicious and their meatballs were tremendous. What I loved was the crust - it had some chew and some tug; there was a little bit of char on the outside and the bottom. The meatballs were delicious and that sauce! The vodka sauce was perfect. I would have thought I would have missed the standard cheese on a pizza but the ricotta was super good. I placed my order on their website and it was easy; I was able to pay using my Apple Pay, which was a plus. We arrived and it was ready but we stood talking to the men in the shop and they were so kind. They asked us questions about us when they learned we had, recently, moved here. You will not find a more personable greeting anywhere.

As a new Yorker, it's so very hard to impress me when it comes to Pizza! I'm the pickiest! A true pizza snob! But this place was well worth all the hype! Underrated if you ask me! All of the staff were very friendly, and helped me decide what to try. It definitely gives "family vibes" as soon as you walk in there. It's the definition of a hole in the wall, but I loved it. I live all the way in east Pittsburgh by plum and I drive ALLL the way over to Brookline, through the tunnels and under the bridges and over the bridges and under the tunnels again LOL. Its 100% worth the drive. No other pizza will do. Also the provolone Sticks are to die for. Literally, I almost died. So cheesy! Be warned its a mouth full haha.

The sauce is sweet and the cheese is a nice blend. Call in or walk in ordering. They do now take credit cards but charge a fee. Two slides of pepperoni is ~$10. There are a few tables if you want to eat in. Place gets super busy. Cell service is pretty non existent, this plays in if you want to tap and pay.

I absolutely adore the servers here, as they're always super happy to give me new recommendations on what to order! Their wings are the literally best wings I've ever had, and I especially love that you can get them smoked to get that charred flavor. My favorite flavors are the mango habanero and the spicy lime, but there are still so many flavors I'm excited to try. I also love ordering a side of seasoned fries and garlic bread to dip into the extra wing sauce!! Their fries and garlic bread are crispy to perfection; you genuinely won't find better anywhere else. I also tried the chicken bacon ranch pizza as per their recommendation, and it was soooo cheesy and yummy! Aside from the food being so delicious, my favorite part about coming here is the sense of community you get. They have couches and TVs where customers love to sit to enjoy their food, and it makes for a super cozy and comfortable environment. I also notice so many regulars who love this restaurant and come back either weekly or daily, and it really shows how great the store's bond is with their customers. This is probably my go-to spot to show people when they visit Pittsburgh because it really highlights the city in such a positive light.
